About Subcity Radio

Subcity Radio is the student radio station based at the University of Glasgow. For the past 13 years the station has been pushing the boundaries of student radio in all respects. Unlike most other student stations, Subcity has always been aimed squarely at music lovers. With no set playlist and 90% specialist programming, it has consistently provided a service unavailable anywhere else in Glasgow.

Probably the only station in the country to be playing Motown, Drum and Bass, Synthpop, Jazz and Techno all in one night, the station broadcasts online all year round and annually on FM. Listen.

Subcity has a long history as one of the staples of the Glasgow club scene. The tenth birthday celebrations saw 1800 people turn up to the Arches and the station's events have launched the careers of some of the city's biggest DJs, including Optimo, Freakmenoovers, Boom Monk Ben and Hudson Mo.

Get Involved

Every year Subcity needs new people to keep it sounding fresh. Even those with no interest in being involved in front of the mic can become a part of the Subcity team.

Remember, you don't have to be a student to get involved and no prior experience is necessary as training is provided.

Presenting and Producing

Subcity needs new presenters and producers every year and are always looking for new talent to showcase at their club and gig nights. Subcity prides itself on its unique audio output and sees itself as the alternative choice in radio. No matter what your musical flavour, be it happy hardcore or thrash metal, you'll find your sound in the Subcity schedule.

Applications are currently closed. Please contact the programmes team for more information on how to get involved.

PR

For those more interested in the media-whore side of things, including the station's club nights, there are opportunities to be a part of Subcity's PR team. A strong on- and off-campus image is essential for the events to continue in their success, and we are always looking for enthusiastic people to help cement our place in the Glasgow clubscene.

Music Team

The music team reviews CDs and gigs from a huge range of record labels and give feedback on the latest releases, from drumnbass to indie, dancehall to pop. The team is in charge of sorting out the good from the downright gash and scouting for the hottest new talent worthy of playout on the airwaves.

News Team

If you see yourself as a budding radio journalist, then the Subcity news team is the place for you. The team is responsible for writing, producing and editing the station's news bulletins and podcasts on the latest local, national and international news along with one-off documentaries.

Tech

In order for the media types to fanny about making podcasts and reviewing CDs, the station's geeks have to keep the microphones working, the transmitter tuned and the servers running smoothly. A place on the station's technical team will also see you recording bands in session, setting up club nights and outside broadcasts in some of the city's coolest venues. A basic knowledge of electronics and sound equipment is useful but not essential.
